About

Wabamun School is in the heart of a family community, and there is a strong bond between the school and the community it serves. That sense of family is reflected in the learning environment, where students feel at home. The small school environment provides opportunities to build relationships with each student, ensuring that their needs are met and that they feel safe and cared for. Student success is measured by both academic and social growth. The school's motto is "The PRIDE of the Community", and we strive to instill the virtues of Perseverance, Resilience, Integrity, Determination and Empathy in everything members of our school community can achieve.
